messed noticed
I don't know if you've noticed but I've messed up like 40 times. I'm all over the place.
later lines scenes singing voice work
Because of all the scenes of him writing songs, it wouldn't work to have me singing the lines while he's writing, and then have his voice come out later onstage,
affected home life nominated obligation record trying
I feel an obligation to set the record straight. Actors that say they're affected by something, that it changes their life, that they take it home with them, they're just trying to get nominated for an Oscar!
people signed ultimate
Well, I haven't signed anything giving people the right to do anything they want with my image, you know what I mean. I have the ultimate say.
total
When I decide to do something, I stick with it, total commitment.
eight extreme grow kids sports
There are kids who get on a BMX bike when they're eight years old and they go, 'Whoa, this is incredible,' and grow up to do extreme sports. It's the same for me with acting.
accustomed affected applause beautiful hearing hundred people room value walk
If you walk into a room and one hundred people say, 'You are a lovely, beautiful person', who isn't going to be affected by that? But you have to tell yourself not to value that. You have to tell yourself - or at least I do - to not become accustomed to hearing applause in any way, because I think that's dangerous.
money move next
You're always thinking, What's the next move - the career, the money.
Once I became a total buffoon, it was so liberating.
anyone asking eight people questions seven sitting table understand
I mean, I don't like sitting at a table with seven or eight people asking me questions and kind of listening to what I'm doing - scrutinizing my thoughts and things like that. I just don't like it. I can't understand how anyone would.
wall mean love-is
There are certain aspects of acting that I don't like. I'm not a person who loves being on set. I mean, I know people that have their espresso machines in their trailers and they like being in there and they put pictures on walls. But I don't like it. I don't like sitting around.
country fans bigs
I didn't know much about him, and I wasn't a big country music fan. I listened to the Beatles and David Bowie, so I didn't know a lot about him.
light lines three-things
They tell you to memorize your lines, follow your light, and hit your marks. Those are the three things that you shouldn't do. You should not learn your lines, you should not hit your mark, and you should never follow your light. Find your light - that's my opinion. Everyone else will tell me I'm wrong, but that's my opinion.
employee crushed ifs
I like being an employee. I like making somebody happy - and if they're not, then I'm crushed.
